Most people that buy Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, and LandRover do so to make a statement---->"I am better then you". And in fact, I read a study that more then 75% of buyers of such cars cannot really afford them. In addition, why people buy these when there are MUCH better and more dependable Japanese luxury cars just goes to prove that most buyers in fact buy those German/Swedish/English inferior brands to make that statement----> "I am better then you". Shallow, materialistic people that are into labels, "status" and "social standing". Sour grapes from a person that cannot afford such cars? Well you tell me; I can buy any two of them cash if I wanted.
As to American cars, sure they can go mega miles but NOT without mega repairs. Sure you and I can point to instances of a Pontiac or Chevy going 200,000+ trouble-free miles, but those examples are the exception and not the rule, to be sure.
